Welcome to the B.S Cognitive Science

The B.S. in Cognitive Sciences is structured to provide students with a challenging introduction to the broad field of Cognitive Sciences that is strongly grounded in theory and an empirical approach emphasizing experimental/computational methods.
Cognitive science is the study of the mind and how it works to solve everyday tasks. These include:

  • visual processing
  • reasoning
  • memory
  • problem-solving
  • language and communication
This programme focuses on both the behavioural and computational aspects of cognitive science. You will have the opportunity to learn a range of skills and to explore different ways of studying the mind - from experiments with human participants to building computer simulations.
Your courses will be a combination of compulsory and option choices from informatics, with a range of options from:
  • psychology
  • linguistics
  • philosophy
The programme will teach you mathematical and programming skills and a deeper understanding of:
  • computation
  • human mind and behaviour
  • the links between natural and artificial intelligence
We offer a wide range of courses delivered by leaders in their field. Our degree flexibility allows you to tailor your experience to your interests and be in control of your learning.
